Question

Is it possible to execute a python-script on a server without using something like django?

I mean I put script.py on host.com and want to call it like this:

    http://www.host.com/script.py

The script then does something like calculating some variables and saving them on a mysql database.

edit: I assume I have to use something like cgi :-\

In short, yes. http://wiki.python.org/moin/CgiScripts. You’ll have to either put your scripts in a cgi-bin folder or adjust the configuration for your web server.
